Sinossi
Che cos'è la ricchezza? Che cosa determina le sorti economiche di un individuo, di un'impresa, di una nazione? Molte delle risposte formulate negli ultimi duecento anni, anche quelle tra loro più lontane e confliggenti, sono state espressione di scuole di pensiero scaturite in un modo o nell'altro dalla "Ricchezza delle nazioni". Testo fondante dell'economia politica moderna, intesa come scienza dell'analisi dei fatti economici - via via più formalizzata e autonoma rispetto ai sistemi filosofici -, il capolavoro di Adam Smith è anche considerato alla base del liberismo moderno, l'ideologia che considera il mercato come unico efficiente meccanismo di allocazione delle risorse, motore naturale dell'economia e garanzia del suo benessere. Smith, osservatore attento della rivoluzione industriale, che stava prendendo piede in Gran Bretagna nella seconda metà del Settecento, è il primo e più importante interprete delle forze che in essa si dispiegano; dal loro studio, egli ricava gli elementi fondamentali di una teoria economica capace di interpretare il nascente capitalismo; elementi che verranno mutuati, criticati, rielaborati da tutti i modelli proposti nei secoli successivi per spiegare l'economia, le scelte politiche, la società.

Recensioni
For a truth, about 3/4 of this book is 18th century blabber about corn prices. Of the remaining 1/4, about 1/2 is criticism of mercantilsm, which is mostly obvious and definitely boring. The remaining 1/8 of the book, however, is worth fighting through the rest for. Even if you've heard the explanat Leggi tutto
The Wealth of Nations, Adam Smith An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations, generally referred to by its shortened title The Wealth of Nations, is the magnum opus of the Scottish economist and moral philosopher Adam Smith. First published in 1776. The book offers one of the worl Leggi tutto
One of the hardest books I have ever read - I feel overwhelmed as far as the concepts - so I will just make a general comment: If you want to understand the foundational concepts of economic policy and have the perspective of a true genius then this book is for you. It is SCARY how many situations A Leggi tutto
"The Wealth of Nations" is the book that changed greed to a virtue instead of a sin. In fact, greed is one of the Seven Deadly Sins in Christian theology. Greed is a sin in ALL the great religions, including Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Zen Buddhism, Buddhism, American Indian Spiritualism, Wiccan natur Leggi tutto
A prideful and ambitious boy, hearing that President Kennedy had been a speed reader, I cut lawns and shovelled walks to pay for an Evelyn Wood Reading Dynamics program. We met in the spare basement of the hideous modern structure that passed for Park Ridge's "Inn"--a residence primarily for attenda Leggi tutto
Oh this book was such a tiresome read that I finished 4 other books before completing this one. Started to take toll on me with so much unnecessary explanations which made no sense. Sometimes cringe worthy! Adam Smith was one of the few individuals who wanted the economic cycle to run itself. Hence
How can one go through life without reading the Wealth of Nations? Adam Smith had the idea of modern economics before the United States was even sovereign (I go not so much for good writers, as I do for innovative and groundbreaking thinkers). Imagine coming up with your own idea of an economic syst Leggi tutto
An erudite who not only changed the shape of economics thinking but also laid the foundation of capitalism and industrialization. The book by him can be regarded as The Bible of economics.
Always a great classic on economics. His one fatal flaw was opening the door for Marx. By placing value based on labor, laborers feel they are the ones that deserve all the reward. Labor means nothing if no one wants the item being produced. The free market drives price, not the amount of labor put
People suggesting I read Adam Smith for an understanding of economic is something I find disgusting and offensive. Adam Smith was man who defended the very system of his time which allowed children as young as four or five to be sent down mines or up chimneys to horrific deaths. , worked women to de Leggi tutto
